Saraya, Islamic military, Leadership in Islam, Military strategyAbstract
In the early days of Islam, the Prophet ﷺ sent out some military missions. Sometimes, he did not go himself but chose a companion (Sahabi) to lead them. These missions are called “Saraya.” The Saraya were not only for fighting; they were also to teach people about Islam, keep peace, stop wrong things, and protect Madinah. Learning about these missions helps us understand Islamic history and shows us how to be wise, plan carefully, and lead in a good way. Even today, Muslims face many problems, and studying the rules and lessons of the Saraya can help us connect with our history and find guidance to solve problems. This article will discuss some important Saraya after the Conquest of Makkah and show how we can use their lessons in our time.
